neuspeed sport/race springs

anyone have those on a 6th gen sedan?
is there a lot of difference between the race and the sport? 1.75.1.5/2.25.2.0
why do ppl say the h&r sport/race gives a more agressive look?
i thought they were the made the same way?

if you go with the sport springs, your 6th gen will look WICKED, but you will get rubbing in the fender wells and suffer camber wear on your tires.

the agressive look comes from having the front dropped slightly lower than the rear. you want this!!!!

I have eibach sportline.. the drop is 1.8 all around. I have a buddy with H&R sports and when parked next to each other, his car looks way better b/c the front is a lower.

you will NOT suffer any camber/rubbing with sport springs.
i had them for a while(h&r) and my ride looked stock compared to most of the dumped rollers out there. ride was comfortable and noticeably stiffer.
switched to the race springs last year. notice a bit more camber angle in the wheels, but no noticable camber wear. but i can feel my stock shocks going soon.
ride looks a lot better and feels a lot stiffer around the corners. you'll have to be a turtle over the speed bumps though. also depends on waht size rim your using. i have no rubbing problems what so ever, with 15's on 50 series and 14's on 60 series(both 195's). using 13's in the winter and your gonna be plowing. i survived it and so will you.

bahh.. hb96 is right, I meant to say that with the h&R RACE you will suffer camber wear and rubbing in the wheel wells. my friend has 16/205/45 and it rubs anytime he goes over a pothole/speedbump.. not on turns. 40 profile tires will eliminate the problem... I think?

40 profiles should do.. then again, it also depends on your shocks, and more importantly, how much weight in the car.. The tires will still rub if you have 3 or more peple with the race springs.. If you're not too worried about the winter snow, then go with the race.. it definitely looks sweet!

I currently have race 2.25" on my 97 sedan .... as long as you have a set of good winter tires you'll be fine in the winter ... and if you are still kinda weary .... get some upgrade your shocks .... you'll need to eventually.... camber ..... not a problem ... i theres only a slight positive on me car .....
